Pot
of Gold: How to Find Your Lost Pension
 In
our first issue, we reported that the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation's online pension search had located 1,400 people
owed more than $4 million of pension benefits. A year later,
we're happy to report that 1,745 people who worked for 520 different
employers have been found in 45 states, the District of Columbia
and Puerto Rico. Benefits for the located people totaled over
$5 million and ranged from a few dollars to more than $100,000.
The average was about $4,000 per person. |

 GSA's
WebForms Site
Is a Hit
One year ago we reported that the General Services Administration
has put hundreds of commonly used federal forms on a one-stop
web site. These GSA forms, Standard Forms, and Optional Forms
can be viewed, filled in, printed, e-mailed or faxed directly
from the Internet. Here's the report one year later--and it's
good. |

Scientific Journals Online 
This
year we announce another new service developed by the same folks
at the Department of Energy who brought you "an Electronic Bridge
to the 21st century" last year. Believe it or not, researching
thousands of scientific journal articles can now be quick, easy
and free with the exciting new public search service called
PubSCIENCE. |

 American
Indian Schools Connect for the 21st Century
Last
year we asked if 51,000 American Indian children in 183 Bureau
of Indian Affairs schools--many in remote areas--could be online
in time for the next century. This year we report that on September
26, 1999, Cibecue Community School in Cibecue, Arizona, became
the 150th American Indian school to be connected to the Internet.
By spring BIA expects all schools to be online. |
